KOSMONAUTAI SERIES
AS DARKNESS DESCENDS, ATLAS MUST RISE.
In the sprawling tapestry of the Aurorion Galaxy, Atlas Viridian dreams of escaping the junk-strewn life of the Salvage Belt. However, his aspirations crumble when his father is arrested under suspicion of being the elusive terrorist, "Typhon." Accused of aiding and abetting, Atlas is thrust into the relentless grip of Horizon Corporation, condemned to toil for resources beneath the surface of a distant moon.
Trapped in the Dome of Dierock 88, Atlas' destiny becomes entwined with the clandestine machinations of "Vanguard," a shadowy Black Operations group. Their motives remain elusive—Atlas is the key, but to what?
Learning to live with a ragtag group of very different people, he’ll navigate the treacherous depths and discover that Horizon's facade of happiness conceals a darker truth: Deadly creatures, remnants of the ancient alien Kosmonautai, haunt the caverns below. Every descent brings not only deadly adversaries but inexplicable mental turmoil.
BENEATH THE SURFACE, SECRETS AWAIT.
In the crucible of survival, he’ll grapple with the tragic lives around him and the harsh truths of the galaxy he inhabits. Dierock 88 becomes a dangerous journey of self-discovery, challenging a young man to unearth the mystery of his own existence, and decide what matters most in an unfair, and cruel society. Will Atlas survive the descent and emerge from the darkness? Or will the battle within himself be his downfall?
TORN ALLEGIANCE. FRACTURED TRUST.
BOOK ONE
WAR HAS RETURNED.
In the wake of their harrowing escape from Dierock 88, Atlas and the crew of The Dysarchos are plunged into a galaxy teetering on the brink of a new Civil War— The Galactic Command against the Black Fleet, led by the enigmatic General Titanus and, unexpectedly, Atlas' own father, Pyros.
BLOOD MATTERS.
With his mother— a prominent figure within Vanguard, and his father, whose true nature Atlas is only beginning to understand— vying for his allegiance, he is left caught between loyalty to his friends and the familial ties that bind him to the war.
A FRACTURED GALAXY.
Traversing the stars, Atlas' mission becomes twofold: to secure a pilot for their mysterious alien ship, and to rescue the families of his crew, entangled in the escalating chaos.
FIND A PATH, OR MAKE IT.
The lines between friend and foe, right and wrong, are blurred, and as Atlas uncovers betrayal, the secrets of the Kosmonautai might become essential for his survival.
